Obi makes debut from Man Utd's youthful bench

Injuries and illness decimated Manchester United's squad for Sunday's game at Tottenham, meaning defender Victor Lindelof was the only senior player named in an otherwise youthful group of substitutes.

Lindelof - with 268 - was the only player on the bench to have made a competitive first-team appearance for United before the game.

Highly rated striker Chido Obi, 17, made his Premier League debut in the closing moments but he was the only player sent on by Ruben Amorim during the 1-0 defeat.

It was the first time since a 0-0 draw against Newcastle in October 2022, when Erik ten Hag was in charge, that United had made fewer than two substitutions in a Premier League match.

In his first 13 league matches as United boss, Amorim had made 58 of the 65 substitutions available to him, using all five in a game on eight occasions.
